Best Waterproof Smartphones 2018

iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus

The iPhone 7 is now water-resistant. We include it on this list of waterproof smartphones because many people use the two words interchangeably. 

You can drop the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in water and they will survive short exposure to a little bit of water. Apple officially rates them at three feet for thirty minutes. However water damage is not covered under the standard warranty. 

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus aren't phones you should go swimming with, but they will survive life's small exposures to water in a sink, bathtub or dropped into a pool -- which is the level of protection that most users need. 

If you do plan to swim with the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus look into a LifeProof case that will double the protection. Here are the best iPhone 7 cases and the best iPhone 7 Plus cases.
